    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the front projector of the prior art; and
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of the present invention.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • As show in FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of a display apparatus of the present invention is a projector. The embodiment comprises a detection module 201, an image processor 203, a micro-controller 205, a first bus 207, a second bus 209, an image decoder 211, and a display module 213. The detection module 201 is used for detecting a status of the projector. The image processor 203 is the DDP2000 chip manufactured by the Texas Instruments, wherein the image processor processes the digital image signals, output from the image decoder 211, via the first bus 207, transmits the digital image signals to the display module 213 via the first bus 207 for displaying an image, and processes signals transmitted from the micro-controller 205 simultaneously. The micro-controller 205 is connected with the detection module 201 via the second bus 209. Consequently, information of a status detected by the detection module 201 is transmitted to the micro-controller 205 via the second bus 209. The first bus 207 and the second bus 209 are Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) buses.
  • The micro-controller 205 may comprise a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter interface (UART interface) or a general purpose input/output interface (GPIO interface). Both can be an interface connected to the second bus 209 individually.
  • The micro-controller 205 operates in response to a computer program. The computer program comprises a primary recursive code and an interrupt service code, wherein the primary recursive code is used for controlling the micro-controller 205 to process the signals transmitted via the second bus 209, and the interrupt service code is used for requesting the micro-controller 205 to report the system status in response to the image processor 203 to control the micro-controller 205 interrupting the present executing tasks and to transmit report signals to the image processor 203 via the first bus 207.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the projector further comprises a light source 215. The detection module 201 is used for detecting a temperature of the light source 215. An overheat protection switch (not shown in the figure) is adjacently disposed to the light source 215. When the detection module 201 detects that the light source 215 is overheated, the micro-controller 205 reports to the image processor 203 via the first bus 207. Then, the image processor 203 cuts off the overheat protection switch to avoid the projector from overheating. The detection module 201 is also used for detecting the brightness of the light source 215 for properly adjusting a supply voltage for the light source 215 to maintain the brightness of the light source 215.
  • As show in FIG. 2, the projector further comprises a fan 217. The detection module 201 can detect a rotation speed of the fan 217 or a supply voltage for the fan 217 for adjusting the rotation speed of the fan 217 and then adjust an internal temperature of the projector.
  • The detection module 201 can further detect an environmental temperature, environmental brightness, or environmental atmospheric pressure for adjusting the light source 215 or the fan 217 at any time according to the environmental variations. For example, a faster rotation speed of the fan is needed when the atmospheric pressure is lower, to achieve same effects on cooling.
  • The detection module 201 further comprises a tilt sensor for detecting a tilt angle of the projector. The display module 213 can appropriately adjust an angle of the projected image according to the detected tilt angle for maintaining the projected image in horizontal. This function enables the projector to be disposed on any desk other than a horizontal tabletop.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is a signal processing method prosecuted by the above-mentioned display apparatus. The method comprises the steps as follows. First, the detection module 201 detects the status of the display apparatus and transmits a signal corresponding to the status to the micro-controller 205 via the second bus 209. Subsequently, the micro-controller 205 transmits the signal to the image processor 203 via the first bus 207. Then, the image processor 203 processes the signal after the signal is received.
  • More specifically, according to the signal processing method disclosed in the present invention, the micro-controller 205 performs the primary recursive code to process the signal transmitted via the second bus 209. When the image processor 203 requests the micro-controller reporting system statuses, the micro-controller 205 turns to perform the interrupt service code for interrupting the present executing tasks and processes the signal transmitted via the first bus 207.
  • Depending on the aforesaid method, the status could be corresponding to the temperature or brightness of the light source 205, the rotation speed or the supply voltage of the fan 205, the environmental temperature, the environmental brightness, the environmental atmospheric pressure, or the tilt angle of the display apparatus.
  • According to the above descriptions, the information of the status detected by the detection module 201 of the present invention is transmitted to the micro-controller 205 via the second bus 209. The image processor 203 processes the display of images via the first bus 207. The micro-controller 205 only reports the status information to the image processor 203 via the first bus 207 when necessary. Consequently, the present invention greatly decreases the workloads of the image processor 203 and the first bus 207 and achieves the purpose of enhancing the system stability.
  • The above disclosure is related to the detailed technical contents and inventive features thereof. People skilled in this field may proceed with a variety of modifications and replacements based on the disclosures and suggestions of the invention as described without departing from the characteristics thereof. Nevertheless, although such modifications and replacements are not fully disclosed in the above descriptions, they have substantially been covered in the following claims as appended.
